复习GMAT考试一定要认真,尤其是准备GMAT作文的时候。不要存在侥幸心理,写作文最怕的就是句子拿捏不准,很多错误的GMAT写作句型让我们的作文功亏一篑,下面小编给大家详细的列举一下:
1. I very like it
I like it very much.
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
The price is very suitable for me.
The price is right.
Note:suitable最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?Whats your job?
Are you working at the moment?
Note:whats your
job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下,GMAT作文回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书
4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
How do you say this in English?
Note:How to say是在GMAT考试中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:Im tied up.还有其他的说法:Im I cant make it at that time. Id love to, but I cant, I have to stay at home.
6. 我没有英文名。I havent English name.
I dont have an English name.
Note:许多人GMAT写作讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I dont have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I dont have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I dont have a car.
7. 我想我不行。I think I cant.
I dont think I can.
Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说我想我不会的时候,英语里面总是说我不认为我会。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的。
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I dont dance well too.
I am not a very good dancer either.
Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
What time is it, please?
Note:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what,是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。
